Here’s a crazy optimistic notion: Peyton Manning can break New England quarterback Tom Brady’s record of 50 touchdown passes in a season, set in 2007. In fact, with the Broncos’ addition of Wes Welker at wide receiver and the team’s commitment to playing faster, I think the best way for Denver to win the Super Bowl is to aspire to be one of the most feared offenses in league history. It’s a possible dream, within this team’s reach.

Let’s find out if Broncos coach John Fox, who has a reputation for being conservative, is as bullish on the Denver offense as I am. Manning threw 49 TD passes for Indianapolis in 2004. Can he do better for the Broncos this season? Lance Britton of Mile High Sports Radio isn’t so sure Manning should even try. Listen to his logic as we argue it out here:

What is the biggest game on the Broncos’ schedule, due to be released Thursday? Let the argument begin. But, before we bicker, let us agree: This is most drama-packed scheduled in team history. If Notre Dame has its own network, then Broncos should be the featured game on national television almost every week of 2013 season.

At the Pro Bowl, quarterback Peyton Manning mentioned he already has thought about his return to Indianapolis. Manning, however, also has a big trip planned to his brother’s house, to play Eli and the New York Giants. Wouldn’t it be great to beat Mike Shanahan in his return to town with the Redskins? But I think the one game Denver must win is the revenge tilt against Baltimore. Peter Burns, however, disagrees. Listen to our debate here:
